Agrifood Clust-ER is hosting a G-Factor | I-Tech Innovation 2027 program with partner Almacube, funded by Fondazione Golinelli and CRIF.

The Agrifood Clust-ER is an association of public and private bodies: companies, research centres and training institutions that share skills, ideas and resources to support the competitiveness of the sector. The Emilia-Romagna Region has found in the Clust-ERs the subjects capable of multiplying innovation opportunities through a collaborative approach, as they focus their activity in R&D strategic sectors. Together with the Technopoles and the High Technology Network laboratories, they are one of the key players in the regional innovation ecosystem coordinated by ASTER, the Emilia-Romagna consortium for innovation and technology transfer. The Agrifood Clust-ER focuses its action on 3 strategic lines of research and innovation enabled through 3 working groups, or Value Chains, representative of the Emilia-Romagna agrifood system: - Sustainable & Precision Farming to strengthen the economic and environmental sustainability of regional productions - Quality, safety and traceability in processes, products and nutrition to promote food safety, the quality of food and feed and the sector’s attractiveness- Valorisation of agrifood by-products and waste to improve the sustainability – both economic and environmental - of the food production processes
